Carys in her new dress from Hannah. Hannah worked hard for the 2,000cfa (about $4) she used to buy this dress for her sister.

I was going to make a decorated fondant cake but we decided we would go for a simple chocolate cake with CREAM CHEESE icing this time. It was yummy!

Some friends came over for fun, games, cake, and popcorn!

Balloon fight!
